When I lived in Miami we called them the pontoon boats of the ocean.. Same basic principle (lots of seating,no cabin,never used for anything except cruising around to party coves) except they go faster than most pontoons and can handle the ocean..

Many and most have cabins these days, very large and plush ones at that.

It has taken nearly a full year to build my new MTI that delivers next week. Why? Because there were quite a few ahead of me and it takes time to build one. There have been lots of performance boats delivered from MTI, Skater, Mystic, DCB, and others, just maybe not as public as the ones you mentioned. As far as "stocking" performance boats, that's a losing proposition. Most, if not all the customers in this arena at the dollars these boats cost will opt to have one built for them, painted in THEIR colors, and are willing to wait.
I agree the number of performance boats in general is probably way down, but the upper end market seems just fine. Right or wrong, that's the way it seems.

They are cool, seen a few now..........but cha-ching expensive. The 29 CCX seems it has the price point figured out and it has decent performance.

I would like to see some closed deck builds (37 AT, 39 TG type stuff in standard go fast trim but with triple outboards). There was a 38 PP- triple 300's but can't think of to many others. http://www.flpowerboat.com/gallery/d...bum=135&pos=25
I'm pretty sure I'm done with I/O's after my current boat.
